At the Dig

Today was our first dig day. The other schools have been here two weeks and done a ton of cleanup and prep work. The bus left promptly at 5:30AM for the tel, and after a short orientation, we were put to work. We cleared walls and unearthed pottery sherds, beads, and stone weights. We hauled dirt and pushed wheelbarrows. It was an awesome day, but I have never been more tired in my life.
